Clear Bag Policy

The Liberty University Athletics Department has instituted a new clear bag policy which will be in effect for all home games in 2016. In an effort to enhance fan safety and expedite entrance to Williams Stadium, Liberty is implementing this new security screening process.

This process includes a new clear bag policy that will limit the size and types of bags that can be brought into the stadium by fans. The implementation of this measure is intended to enhance public safety while minimizing time spent searching bags at gate security checkpoints, thus easing access into the stadium.

Liberty’s new clear bag policy fully went into effect for the Flames’ Sept. 24 game against Jacksonville State and will strictly be enforced for the remainder of the 2016 football season.

he policy is consistent with the NFL's current model. Only clear tote bags that do not exceed 12" x 6" x 12", or, one-gallon plastic freezer bags, will be allowed in Williams Stadium. In addition, small handheld clutch purses no larger than 4.5" x 6.5" will be permitted. Spectators also will be able to carry other items allowed into the stadium such as binoculars, cameras, and smart phones.
